WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could injure someone
in the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the extra tire and wheel in the places
provided.
7. Install wheel center cap (if equipped) and remove wheel blocks. Do not install
chrome or aluminum wheel center caps on the spare wheel. This may result in cap
damage.
8. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. If the jack will not lower by turning the
dial (thumbwheel) by hand, it may be necessary to use the jack drive tube in order
to lower the jack. Stow the replaced tire, jack, and tools as previously described.
9. Adjust the tire pressure when possible.
Hub Caps/Wheel Covers — If Equipped
The hub caps must be removed before raising the vehicle off the ground.
CAUTION!
Use extreme caution when removing the front and rear center caps. Damage can
occur to the center cap and/or the wheel if screwdriver type tools are used. A
pulling motion, not a pry off motion, is recommended to remove the caps.
For single rear wheel (SRW) models, use the flat blade on the end of the lug wrench
to pull the hub cap off. Insert the blade end into the pull off notch and carefully pull
the hub cap off with a back and forth motion.
On 3500 models with dual rear wheels (DRW), you must first remove the hub caps.
The jack handle driver has a hook at one end that will fit in the pull off notch of the
rear hub caps. Position the hook and pull straight out on the ratchet firmly. The hub
cap should pop off. The wheel skins can now be removed. For the front hub cap, use
the flat blade on the end of the lug wrench to pull the caps off. The wheel skin can
now be removed.
CAUTION!
• Use a pulling motion to remove the hub cap. Do not use a twisting motion when
removing the hub cap, damage to the hub cap; finish may occur.
• The rear hub caps on the dual rear wheel has two pull off notches. Make sure
that the hook of the jack handle driver is located squarely in the cap notch before
attempting to pull off.
